Some say they are going to finish sowing their wheat if it takes them till the middle of January. The Debating Society at this place has suspended until next spring. The bad weather did not hinder the young people front enjoying several entertainments around in the com munity during Christmas. Among some of them were a Christmas Tree at the home of Mr. ('.('.

Moore on Thursday night, .'Mli. given in honot of Miss Mourning Moore and Mr. Kdward King. 1:; spite ol the rain and cold the young people came with theii beautiful pres ent.-, which were received by it commit tee and carried to the room and deliv ered to another committee, whose busi ness it was to arrange the presents on tho Tree. At 7.:i0 o'clock the doors were'opened and the anxious, but pa tiently waiting, crowd was invited into the room to receive the pr?senta which their f riends and lovers hail so kindly purchased lor them. Alter the distri bution of the presents the crowd was engaged for a short time in a few inno cent games, after which they quietly returned to their homes, feeling that it had been a gathering long to be re membered. The musical entertainment at the home of Mr. 11. R. Join s on Friday night was enjoyed by all present.

This community has suffered at the hands of some thief who has been stealing corn from several of our farm ers. Mr. Jesse Adkins lost several bushels recently. Cumso. Letter tu Mr. P. K. McCnlly, Jr., Anderson. Dear Sir : We cannot repeat too often that it's folly to buy a thin paint, be cause when you do so you are paying ,twice as much as its worth for a lot of linseed oil contained therein. You add 5-b to .'t-4 gallon of oil to ench gallon of L. &, M. Paint. That's the secret of its low actual cost. It contains more white lead and oxide of zinc than any other paint made. We much wish that you would get prices, color cards and combinations from Messrs. F. B. Crny ton & Co. LONGMAN & MARTINEZ, Paint Makers. Wise Merckanf/>.

Aftei paying a \ *?ii lo Charleston mid inspecting lit*- magnificent Imposi tion tivc?'v loyal South Carolinian must necessarily fool proud of his State and its wonderful resources. Our entire Statt; is filled with manufacturing en terprises of almost every kind, and we venture the assertion that if a Chinese wall was placed around the entire State the people of South Carolina could ex ist without the balance of the world. Within our borders wo can produce all that is necessary for food, raiment and the well-being of a happy people. Uur educational institutions will compare favorably with any State in the Cnion. Such heing the ease, then we ask the quest ion. "if you area patriotic son of South Carolina and earnestly desire to aid in the furl her upbuilding ol' your Suite, wh.\ do you send your money away from home.1 In answer to this question some merchants will say: "We c;m buy tu belter advantage- out - side oi the Stale than within ils bord ers." An* you aware ol the fact that the jobbing trade ol' South Caro lina can meet all competition'.' If Iheh prices or terms do not compare favorably with Northern concerns why cannot all ol these mal tors be arranged by thorough organization? There are numbers ol small manufacturing in dustries throughout South Carolina struggling lor a living, while our own people ate stabbing them in the back by patronizing Northern concerns, and either failing or refusing to give them the proper support. 11 all of the people of South Carolina wer?; determined to give all homo en terprises the preference, and buy noth ing outside of the Slate which could hi! bought tit home, there would spring tip a tide of industrial prosperity which would shake the State of South Caro lina from the mountains to the sea board; our revenue from taxes would increase, to a marvellous extent, and every man, woman and child in the State would benefit thereby. Some folks will give us the old threadbare, cobwebbed excuse: "Those jobbers in sleepy old Charleston have no get-up-and-get about them and, while wo would like to trade with them, we can't." If this excuse has any foundation in fact then where do you get your money from? Isn't it strange that the bankers should bo so enterprising while the wholesale mer chants are to the other extreme? Can any reasonable person inspect the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition, the product of the business men of "Sleepy Old Charleston,1' without at least reaching the conclusion that the old city has awakened from her slumber and, after a long and refreshing nap, she is in for business to a finish. Charleston has met you halt way ami if you lovo your State us you should it now behooves you to meet her the other half. Let by-gones be by-gones and let us all get together. The men you once disagreed with down there have either forgotten nil about it or are dead aud buried. The younger generation has now taken hold and they have already demonstrated to the people of South Carolina that they are hustlers. We want to seo the whole of the peo ple of South Carolina living together as one happy family. Let us all meet together as brother to brother, bear each other's burdens, share each oth er's joys, defend each other and pledge ourselves to aid each other in every movement looking toward the upbuild ing of South Carolina. Let us give more time to business and less to poli tics. Our business may slip away from us, but the politician we have with us always. This, you may say, is good theory, but it lacks practicability. Very well then let ub get down to something like the practical part. It is very generally conceded that the very best results nre always attained by a thorough organization. Wo have given the matter considerable thought and we believe that an organi zation can be effected plan of organization. Let the Governor appoint from each county in South Carolina live public spirited business men to meet at the Charleston Exposition on some day to be suggested by the Exposition au thorities and effect a State organiza tion; call it, if you will, "The State Hoard of Trade," let the State board at the meeting provide for the organi zation of county boards of trade in every county in the State. Each county board to furnish one State executive committeeman. Let the State board establish perma nent headquarters at some point in the State. The person in charge of head quarters can issue at least weekly prices current bnsed upon reports fur nished him by jobbers and manufac turers of the State, these reports to be sent every merchant iu the State. All merchants to have the privilege of using the manager of State headquar ters as purchasing agent without com pensation. All complaints of grievances against any merchant, manufacturer or banker in the State to be acted upon and arbi trated by the State Executive Commit tee or a sub-committee thereof. Let every momber of the county and State boards pledge themselves, all things boing equal, to support and maintain the manufacturing and mer cantile enterprises of South Carolina in preference to all foreign concerns. With a State organization the matter of freight rates can better be adjusted than with individuals. Each county would have a local board of trade at which all business matters could be discussed and they would have abso lute protection against what thoy may cor?older imposition. Tho State organization may be main tained by a per capita tax on the entire membership or upon tho manufacturers and jobbers of the State. ' In this movement the press of tho State can aid very materially; they are ..a ^. . . 1 \. .
